its summer recess after issuing
its Order List on July 2. That Order
List added many new cases to the
court’s docket for the October 2021
term, including some that will affect
the enforcement of civil rights
laws, but there was no ruling on a
petition in a case about denial of
health care services to a transgender
person by a Catholic Hospital
based on religious objections to
gender confi rmation surgery. Perhaps
that case will bring the issue
of the Smith precedent back
onto the court’s docket next term,
but the court usually does not announce
decisions on petitions for
review during its summer recess.

➤ FLORIST, from p.11
ment that the court was denying
ADF’s petition was a bit surprising.
It is not surprising that Justices
Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch
indicated they would have granted
review, since they had signed concurring
opinions in Fulton chiding
the majority for failing to take this
issue on. But it takes four votes to
grant review. Justice Barrett’s concurring
opinion in Fulton, joined
by Justice Kavanaugh, expressed
doubts about Smith but also raised
concerns about the myriad issues
that would have to be confronted
if it was overturned, since she was
uncomfortable with the idea that
every government policy that incidentally
burdens a person’s religious
practices would automatically
be subject to strict scrutiny
without any evidence that a facially
neutral policy was in reality targeted
at a religious practice.
It seems inevitable that at some
point there will be a fourth vote
for granting review in a case that
requires the court to reconsider
Smith. Chief Justice Roberts announced
that the court would begin
